Region : India

Model : TL-R470T+

Hardware Version : V4

Firmware Version : 1.0.0 Build 20140514 Rel.34582s

ISP : Hathway, Beam


WAN1: Download: 50Mbps (I'll only get between 27-45 Mbps constantly) | Upload: 3Mbps (~ 2 Mbps)
WAN2: Download: 15Mbps (14 Mbps in constant) | Upload: 15Mbps (~ 14 Mbps)

My expected speed by speedtest.net: 40Mbps


WAN1 speedtest.net





WAN2 speedtest.net





I followed the link http://www.tp-linkru.com/article/?faqid=715 to configure my router so that I gain full speed by combining both the internet speeds BUT speedtest.net always shows the WAN1 speed(hathway:27-30Mbps). I tried switching the ISP cables between WAN1 and WAN2, still it show the WAN1 speed(beam:14Mbps). The speedtest.net should show the download speed of atleast 40Mbps and upload speed around 16Mbps.


The below are the screenshots after enabling load balancing to attian the full speed of both the ISPs.












I did not get the full upload and download speed here. Am I missing anthing?. Any help is appreciated!

Raj,

Speedtest works by opening upto 4 sessions (threads) to the speedtest server. The maximum bandwidth will be seen if 2 sessions get routed on WAN1 and 2 on WAN2. However, the WAN port that gets assigned to a session is not deterministic, rather it is statistical, and the load balancing router tries to maintain the ratio of bandwidths as configured by you IN THE LONG RUN. When the 4 sessions to the speedtest server are opened, it is very likely that all 4 sessions get assigned to the same WAN port. When that happens, all 4 threads are trying to download/upload traffic on 1 WAN link, and as a result you see the bandwidth of one of the WAN ports. In practice, although the speedtest doesn't show you the sum of bandwidths, you should get the clubbed speed. One good test is to download a well seeded torrent - the torrent will open multiple sessions, and statistically, the sessions will get spread across the two WAN ports. Hope this helps.

The only way to bond or aggregate multiple internet connections is through VPN bonding or MLPPP. Currently only a few DSL providers support MLPPP but require a CPE device that has MLPPP capability in order to get it to work. VPN bonding requires a VPN provider that supports this feature. In both these scenarios the potential of aggregating two or more internet connections can result in cumulative download and upload speeds respectively. TP-Link products do not currently support either of these features.
